The major body systems are as the following: Muscular system Skeletal system Cardiovascular system Lymphatic system Respiratory system Digestive system Urinary system Reproductive system Integumentary system Nervous system Endocrine system - Restricted  The pulmonary system or the respiratory system (spir/o = to breathe) functions primarily to deliver oxygen to the body tissues and get rid of carbon dioxide. This function is achieved through breathing or ventilation. There are two processes involved in ventilation: 1.Inspiration/inhalation: movement of air into the lung 2.Expiration/exhalation: movement of air out of the lungs A pulmonologist (pulmon/o + -logist) is a specialist in the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the lungs, while a respiratory - Restricted therapist evaluates and treats respiratory  Term Definition Nose Anatomic structure at the entrance on the respiratory system that conducts, warms, humifies, and cleans and inhaled.air Nasal Cavity The space on either side of the nasal septum extending from.the nares to the pharynx Nasal Spectrum Dividing wall between the.right and left nasal cavity Paranasal sinuses Paired air-filled cavities in the bones of the face that are connected to the nasal cavity; these include the frontal, sphenoidal, maxillary, and ethmoidal sinuses - Restricted  Term Defnition pharynx Space behind the mouth that serves as a passage for food from the mouth to the esophagus and for air from the nose and.mouth to the larynx adenoids Pharyngeal tonsil located on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx that enlarges during childhood and shrinks during puberty tonsils Lymphatic structures including the pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids), palatine.tonsil, and lingual tonsil - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted  Term Defintion Larynx Air passageway located between the pharynx and the trachea that holds the vocal cords; commonly called the.voice box Epiglottis Flap of cartilage that covers the upper region of the larynx during swallowing to prevent food or other matter from.entering the lungs Glottis Part of the larynx consisting of the vocal cords and the slit-like.opening the folds Trachea Air passage extending from.the larynx into the thorax - Restricted  When you complete this section, you’ll be able to match diagnostic terms and therapeutic interventions with.their meanings - Restricted  Basic Examination Procedures: When a healthcare practitioner checks for signs of a disease, they usually perform two basic functions: (1) measuring vital signs (2) performing a physical examination. - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted - Restricted  Apart from the diagnosis of diseases, radiation is also useful in treating tumors or cancer cells.
